A fishing rod holder assembly for securing, transporting and dispensing a plurality of fishing rods is disclosed. The invention herein provides a convenient way to secure, transport and dispense fishing rods from a vehicle such as a pickup truck. The fishing rod holder rotates and tilts the fishing rods to a stowed position to prevent the fishing rods from being bounced around and becoming damaged, especially during transport. The invention lowers the fishing rods to a horizontal position during transport to prevent possible damage to the expensive fishing rods as a result of their sticking up above the profile of a pickup truck and being exposed to the high velocity air when traveling at expressway speeds or becoming entangled with low hanging vegetation or other obstacles while driving down a road. By lowering the fishing rods to a position in the bed of a truck, a cover could then be placed over the bed of a pickup truck to enhance the security of the fishing rods by keeping them out of sight and by providing protection from the elements.
